Cosmic education
Definition
Maria Montessori urged us to give young people a “vision of the universe” to help them discover how all of its parts are interconnected and interdependent. Using this a building block of the educational design helps adolescents to understand their place in society and the world. For the third plane the world is the learning environment, and the student moves in that world and learns from real life situations.
